Introducing Security Device support on RubyGems’ CLI - RubyGems Blog

In a world where many maintainer accounts are being targeted to distribute malicious code via our packages, it is crucial to add more measures that will help prevent these account takeovers. At the end of 2022, we announced the addition of hardware security token and passkey support (aka WebAuthn) to help secure your RubyGems’ account in the browser.Starting today, you can now use your registered security device as a multi-factor method on the RubyGems CLI! This feature is available in RubyGems 3.4.12 and above.
